The two-time Triple Crown-winning trainer is considering three options for the five-year-old son of City Zip: the Breeders' Cup Classic; the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, both on Nov. 3; and Santa Anita's $75,000 Comma To The Top Stakes for three-year-olds and up at one mile on Oct. 28.

“He went really well, really impressive,” Baffert said of the speedy chestnut, who defeated stablemate Arrogate in the 2017 Grade I Pacific Classic before running second to Horse of the Year Gun Runner in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

“He looked like the old Collected. I had blinkers on him and Joe loved the way he went.”

Collected, winner of eight of 15 career races with earnings of $2,975,500, last raced on Sept. 22 when fourth as the 2-5 favorite in the Pennsylvania Derby Championship at Parx.
